We aimed to analyze BRCA1 germline mutations, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and promoter methylation in unselected ovarian carcinomas in the context of their clinicopathologic characteristics and other molecular changes. BRCA1 mutations were analyzed in 257 carcinomas using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP),...
